Massimo Carbone's furnace produces according to traditional techniques and strictly by hand wine jars using exclusively the certified Impruneta clay, unique in the world for its frost resistance and perfect for oenological use as it is insulating and inert.

Together with oenologists of great skill and sensitivity, the furnace has perfected the classic Etruscan amphora, producing jars and amphorae characterized, among other things, by the manhole completely in terracotta that allows the elimination of steel or resin elements.

n order to overcome the problem of the natural porosity of the terracotta, which would allow an excessive exchange of oxygen with the outside, Massimo Carbone creates a multilayer internal covering always in terracotta but worked with peculiar techniques. The inside of the amphorae thus does not require further treatments such as glazing, polishing with wax and is in any case easy to sanitize with water washing.
